Lionel Messi hurt his left knee in Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Las Palmas before Luis Suárez scored twice to lift the defending champions, temporarily at least, to the top of La Liga on Saturday. Barcelona’s all-time leading scorer asked to be substituted in the eighth minute after he had tried to return to the match following a collision with Las Palmas’ Pedro Bigas. The club said he has been taken to hospital for tests. With Messi gone, Suárez took charge of the hosts’ attack. The Uruguay striker headed in Barcelona’s first goal in the 25th minute before he struck again in the 54th. Neymar missed a penalty in the 66th before the Las Palmas forward Jonathan Viera scored in the 88th. Real Madrid can restore their position atop the league with a win over Malaga later. • Full match report to follow Topics La Liga Barcelona Las Palmas European club football Lionel Messi Luis Suárez match reports Share … [Read more...] about Luis Suárez sends Barcelona top but win overshadowed by Messi injury
